For the first time in New Zealand, the country’s only glass manufacturer Visy achieved an average of 70% recycled glass content in its locally-made bottles and jars in 2024.
New Zealand is the first country Visy operates in to achieve this benchmark.
“Our local supply chain means that we can bring the best of New Zealand food and beverage to the world in beautiful, sustainable glass packaging,” says Aaron Ashby, general manager of Visy New Zealand. “New Zealand makes some of the best wine in the world, it deserves the best bottles.”
A Visy glass container with 70% recycled content can be up to 30% less greenhouse gas intensive compared to glass containers with no recycled content.
“Using recycled glass doesn’t just divert material from landfill, it protects our precious natural resources.”
